  • Systemic treatment with either immunosuppressive doses of corticosteroids (> 10 mg daily prednisone equivalents) or other immunosuppressive medications within 21 days of study drug administration.
  • Patients on a standard high-dose steroid taper after craniotomy or stereotactic biopsy may have received a higher dose of corticosteroids within 21 days of registration, however must be at a dose < 5 mg daily prednisone or bioequivalent per day within 7 days prior to initiation of study drug.
  • Patients requiring adrenal replacement with corticosteroids are eligible if the steroids are at doses ≤ 10 mg prednisone or bioequivalent per day in the absence of active autoimmune disease.
  • Steroids as premedication for hypersensitivity reactions (e.g., CT scan premedication) are allowed.
  • Active autoimmune disease that might deteriorate when receiving an immuno-stimulatory agent.
  • Prior organ transplantation, including allogeneic stem cell transplantation.
  • Known history of, or any evidence of active, non-infectious pneumonitis within the last 5 years.

  • ATTENTION: Seasonal influenza vaccines for injection are live attenuated vaccines, and are not allowed.
  • Clinically significant (i.e., active) cardiovascular disease: cerebral vascular accident/stroke (< 6 months prior to enrollment), myocardial infarction (< 6 months prior to enrollment), unstable angina, congestive heart failure (≥ NY Heart Association - CC II), or serious cardiac arrhythmia requiring medication.
  • All other unstable, severe, or chronic medical or psychiatric conditions including colitis, inflammatory bowel disease, pneumonitis, pulmonary fibrosis, recent (within the past year) or active suicidal idea in behavior, or laboratory abnormalities that may increase the risk associated with program or judgment of the investigator, would make the patient participation impossible.

IPILIMUMAB Extended Access Program for patients who received chemotherapy and / or radiation therapy before the protocol, before or after the operation.

Read the detailed description

It is not yet known which protocols are a better treatment for glioblastoma or glioma.

The ipilimumab extended-access program for patients who received previous chemotherapy and / or radiation therapy by protocol, before ((for non-operable cases) or after the operation.

Monoclonal antibodies of CTLA-4, such as ipilimumab, may block tumor growth in different ways by targeting certain cells and activating the patient's immune system to fight the disease.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • IpilimumabBiological

    Also called MDX-010

    Each patient receives Ipilimumab in regimen and dose according to the official manufacturer's instructions (IV 1 mg / kg every 6 weeks for maximum of 4 doses).

    Participation of the patient in the program must necessarily be agreed with the current treatment and contain a written agreement with the attending physician.

    This program is not covered by health insurance. For patients in the postoperative period to provide a mandatory conclusion of histology and molecular-genetic for the identified mutations and the type of tumor.
